Winter's Nearly Here ...

... when the big fishing boats are brought out of the water.

The crane arrived at lunchtime and preparations were made on the harbour head while everyone waited for the tide to come in.

Once it was deep enough the Good Fortune made her way in from the outer harbour, strops were attached and up she went ...

landing very gently on the hard ...

Next to come in was the Ocean Princess and the process was repeated ...



before the last boat Cosmo's Mariner appeared and she too was lifted out and settled on the hard ...
